Perfect Footprints for Any Lot
Oftentimes, homeowners shy away from narrow or limited lots. They may think that a smaller lot automatically means a smaller home. But we’re here to tell you that it doesn’t have to! Instead of building out, these rectangular homes build back and up. That means they offer the same or even more space than a “regular” home. So, while others shy away from these lots, you can embrace them (often at lower cost!) knowing that you’ll still get an amazing house in the end.
You aren’t limited when you decide to build a rectangular house plan, either. In fact, you have a wide array of options at your fingertips. No matter your family’s size or needs, we have plans to suit everybody. You’ll be amazed at just how large and luxurious some of these home plans can be.
Whatever you’re looking for, it’s important to remember two things. First, we recommend that you buy your lot first. It’s much easier to find a home that fits a lot than vice versa. Then, check any local ordinances or HOA rules. You need to know if there are height or other building restrictions in your area. Don’t worry―our team can easily navigate limitations to ensure you can still build your dream home. We just need to know about them!

Comfort and Accessibility Throughout
Even for young couples, accessibility in a home is crucial. Whether it’s for aging relatives, young kids, or even just a sense of togetherness, it’s an important feature of any home. That’s why virtually all of our rectangular house plans focus on it!
DFD-9576 (above) is a lovely home you can make extra accessible, if you like. Of course, we can easily add a wheelchair ramp in the garage and to the front door. Once inside, large open rooms make for easy navigability. Plus, the den on the first floor can be modified into a bedroom suite for relatives who come to visit. The wide staircase can even accommodate a stairlift, if needed. Just because a home’s footprint isn’t a sprawling ranch-style layout doesn’t mean that it can’t be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities.
The simple and compact designs help make rectangular house plans accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Even if your dream plan doesn’t include some of the necessary ADA considerations, we can make it accessible to you or someone else. Feel free to ask your designer about modifications. We are always happy to help make your dream home possible!

Affordable Relaxation Anywhere
Whether it’s for weekend getaways or a year-round dwelling, rectangular house plans make amazingly affordable options. Why? Because corners are expensive! The fewer corners from the foundation to the roof, the easier and less expensive the house will be to build. You can put that savings to good use by investing in a dream lot. Remember, your rectangular dream home could be built nearly anywhere! Whether it’s overlooking the beach or a mountain vista, we’ve seen and done it all!
DFD-9363 (above) shows how a rectangular house plan makes a fabulous vacation home. The single-story layout offers 3 bedrooms and an amazing wraparound porch, perfect for watching the waves or enjoying any landscape. Downstairs, there’s a finished basement that can double the living space!
